Hi Mark I was thinking of some wise words of consolation to put your mind at ease, but Carl's said it perfectly for me... A truer word has never been said. Thanks Patrick

Hi Mark You're certainly pushing ahead now. One milestone (the hull) is over and now you can move onto the deck and cabin. Looking great! Cheers Patrick

...I still can't get over how real the seat cushion looks. Damn! That's nice! Cheers Patrick

Hi Steve Wow, that boat looks great, especially with the internal ribs added! I've got no doubt that the next one will look just as good. Overall, the whole tug's looking great. I love the fact that curious eyes can peer into the open door and windows and marvel at what's inside. Cheers Patrick

Hi Mark Nice! I love the 'finesse' that you've applied to the whole ship and, in particular the galleries. Best of luck for Janet's surgeries, as well! Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank I love reading your updates; this one being no exception. The care and forethought that you put into every piece of the ship is amazing. I mean, most normal people may have tapered the mast by eye, but you took precision to a whole new level by measuring and marking the taper prior to shaping. That, Sir, is true attention to detail. And...don't even get me started on the knees...! Nice!!! Cheers Patrick

Hi Kees Thanks! I can certainly imagine how you felt when you dropped your ship, too! Definitely, not a nice feeling, at all. Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor I know that you're right, but I wish it weren't the case for any of us. But, bad luck is bad luck and all we can do is move onwards. The good news is that I should be able wrap up all the fixes this weekend. Enjoy your weekend and all the best! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Carl. I appreciate your kind words and comments. I've done a bit more work on getting the internal stuff back in their right places; so I guess it's coming together ok. Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick

...ok, ok, ok. Seeing that seat cushion, with its folds in the fabric, takes realism to a whole new level. Seriously nice! Cheers Patrick

Thanks David - I think you're right about not going totally mad with grief, but I did have a few choice words to say about the whole affair. But, I soon realised that at the end of the day, I really had no choice but to just get on with it and fix the ship. No mucking around.... Hi Steve - thanks and yep, a real major bummer. But, I've got no choice but to just get on and fix it. Oh well... Thanks Elijah - strangely, there is a plus side to this whole affair -before the accident, I had noticed that the structure supporting the radar domes was slightly off-centre, which bugged me to no end. At least, now I can fix it so that it's aligned properly, afterall. Funny how things work out that way, isn't it? Thanks Mark - I actually managed to do some repairs last night, which was kinda therapeutic in a way. As mentioned to Elijah above, there's a positive to this...! Thanks Denis - well, it took me about an hour of crouching down on the ground with a torch, but I found the broken piece from the bow. It shows that perserverance does pay off. Now, I just need to fix it! Thanks for your support! Hi Bob - you're right, you know. Nobody knows your own work, as well as yourself. In my case, she's my ship, so fixing it and putting all the dislodged internal furniture back in their proper places, is a job best done by me. Thanks for your thoughts and best wishes. Cheers and thanks, everyone. Patrick

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
